The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, has said that the Federal Government was making progress in ensuring the speedy completion of key power projects to deliver steady electricity supply to Nigerians.
Aliyu said this in a statement in Abuja, to mark his 50 days in office as the minister of power.
The minister listed some of the projects to include: The Kashimbilla 40 MW Power Station in Taraba State which had already begun generating power for the National Grid.
He also noted that the Gurara phase 2 being developed in partnership with the Ministry of Water Resources would soon deliver 30 megawatts to the grid.
The minister also cited the Dadin Kowa 40 megawatts power station that had also started generating power for the National Grid, under a concession with a private investor.
Aliyu revealed that the outstanding regulatory and power purchase agreement issues were also being resolved.
Speaking on the Mambilla hydroelectric power project, which was contracted in 2017, the minister said that discussions were being intensified so that all issues preventing the full take off of the project are resolved soon.
